Ophthalmology

The eyes are very delicate organs and it is important to treat them with the utmost care. Many problems can plague the eyes, from mild irritation or infection to visually threatening glaucoma. Ocular problems must be treated promptly and professionally to ensure the best outcome. Our veterinarians are trained to diagnose and treat injuries as well as a variety of eye ailments such as glaucoma, dry eye and cataracts.

Symptoms to watch for:

Squinting

Cloudiness/Change in eye appearance

Eye discharge

Red Eyes

Swelling

Loss of Vision

Eye Examination:During regular exams our veterinarians will utilize an ophthalmoscope to look at various aspects of your pet's eyes. Often, additional tests may be recommended and can be done in-house. We can utilize specialized equipment such as a tonopen to measure eye pressures to test for glaucoma or quickly diagnose corneal defects or dry eye, all during your visit.
